  • If only this could lead to scaling down the scope of web technologies so it’s sustainable to develop a browser without that 80% funding.

    Wouldn’t be the first time we dropped an ultra complex technology for something much more simple, e.g. DCOM/CORBA for JSON-based RPC.

  • Their stated reasoning here sounds bullshit and I’m sure the actual reason is a technical one, where they’re trying to retrofit the MS accounts login system to a protocol that wasn’t designed for it and for some reason are refusing to extend the RDP protocol to support the new auth mechanism. SMB network shares probably have the same issue I’d assume.

    I’m sure AD domains don’t have this problem since it uses Kerberos, otherwise this would have been a problem already decades ago.

    Using the password for a public account for local login is a disaster anyway, they should have done it like Apple and kept the local login password separate from the MS account login. I have never used a MS account for local login but it sounds to me like it just leads to people using insecure passwords for publicly reachable accounts because they don’t want to type a long password every time logging into their computer.

  • Fantastic choice hahaha

  • Hell yeah. I don’t play Minecraft anymore but I just set it on my character anyways :)

  • Nice! Pretty sure cfdisk also can create a new partitioning scheme but I don’t know how right now

  • Block size? I’ve never seen that message before and I don’t think it’s relevant here. It should redetect the partitions to what they actually are though, but I assume it doesn’t for you.

    Also, are you sure you want MBR on that disk instead of GPT? (At least, I think that’s what “Label: dos” means)

  • Pretty much only games that were made pre-permission restrictions on Program Files because they try to write to the install folder. I think that was added around XP/Vista. Anything remotely recent shouldn't have this problem (especially if it's the default install directory).

    (The error code 0xc0000096 (Privileged instruction) also doesn't indicate this at all but hey, there's been weirder cases of errors caused by completely unrelated seeming conditions.)

  • One on the right. I have never used this iteration of the macOS settings (started using it with macOS 13) but I have used Plasma Settings' icon view and Windows Control Panel and I prefer them by a lot.

    I think Plasma's would be better if it was a normal expandable tree view on the left instead of the weird expanding panels it has going on, though. That used to be a thing in KDE 4 I think.

  • VMs can’t ever do that on any OS. I don’t think that’s a reasonable expectation.

  • That’s not what this is about at all.

    With the latest Android 16 beta, you can now allocate as much storage as you want to the Linux Terminal

    until recently, it was restricted to just 16GB of storage space

  • Came out to long time friend couple days ago. Turns out he’s queer too which I absolutely didn’t expect.

    I don’t want to say I have found a new name yet but I have pretty much found one.

    2 months on HRT and my hair has just visibly started regrowing. Crazy honestly. Still needs a while before it stops being sucky though.

    Getting better at trans voice, I can get something down pretty consistently now even though the way it sounds is still questionable (though that might be because it’s really hard to tell with my own voice, getting feedback from someone in a bit).

    So yeah pretty great I’d say. At least in terms of transitioning.

  • Looks like my teeth necklace dream might become a reality without having to resort to questionable means.

    (Seriously though, this is great!)

  • Posts incel tier meme and gets instantly defensive when called out in the comments. Classic

  • Element/Matrix does calls and screen share also by the way!

    (Teamspeak can do screen share? That’s news to me!)

  • If you want quick and dirty, use steam-run!

  • Absolutely, I hate this shit. It feels incredibly fake and overbearing if it’s an automatic/“broadcast” message.

    Sometimes it’s designed so that it’s actively dangerous too. I said “Siri, kill me” to my phone and it started calling emergency services. Are they trying to get people fined for abuse?
